How do cells collectively control an organ's behavior? By plucking various numbers of hairs from the mouse skin, Chen et al. show that hairs regenerate only when a sufficiently high density of them are plucked. Remarkably, a hair follicle can only regenerate in concert with other follicles, but not autonomously.
细胞如何集体控制器官的行为？陈等通过从老鼠皮肤中拔出不同数量的毛发，发现只有当拔出足够数量的毛发时，毛发才会再生。值得注意的是，一个毛囊只能与其他毛囊协同再生，而不能自主再生。
